Good staff work helped pay the bill

I wish to thank Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle and her staff for everything that they have done for me over the past year. My son was hospitalized in February 2011 for five months, having had a breakdown after the death of his father. I received a bill for $45,000 for his stay. My insurance stated he was hospitalized too long and he wasn't covered.

Due to school cuts I have been unemployed and had no way to pay the enormous bill. Buerkle's office called faithfully and was on top of everything. Almost a year later, her office called to say our bill was paid. What a relief!

I would vote for Buerkle in a heartbeat, but she no longer represents my district. Thanks so much for your good work.
